Default The Modern Information Paradox

Isn't it crazy that we have so much information at our fingertips, we are bombarded with messages, both direct and indirect in these modern times, and yet, the quality of much of this information is very questionable? In fact, one could even argue that a dumbing down of society is occuring as people either switch off or selectively attend to only that info which is non-threatening, non-confronting and suits one's own biases.

How do people get to the truth these days, are people really interested?

Even more of an issue, is how can an important message cut through all the "noise" of the modern media and out-moded ideas??

Thoughts?
